Title A name given to the resource Gailor House Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1874 Type The nature or genre of the resource Still Image Description An account of the resource The first house on this site was built in 1873 by General Gorgas for a student dormitory. The house almost immediately burnt in December of 1873, and he used the $1, 200 insurance to build another. It had four rooms upstairs and four downstairs- the typical amount of rooms for student cottages. When Mr. Gailor came in 1882 to teach at St. Luke's he lived there and his mother boarded with Mrs. Tucker at Palmetto. Dr. Hodgson, the Vice-Chancellor had bought the Gorgas house and cottage and offered, if Mr. Gailor would give up a lease he'd taken on the lot where Johnson Hall is now, to sell him a strip of his own lot with the cottage. This was done in 1884. Dr. Hodgson had known Chaplain Gailor in the seminary in New York, and the families were old friends. When Gailor was made Bishop in 1893 he kept it as a summer home where the four Gailor children would grow up. Charlotte Gailor used to say that her parents, whenever the roof leaked, would add a room instead of having the old roof repaired. There were three bathrooms and, depending on one’s definition, six or seven bedrooms. When the living room was conjured up, with its own fireplace, a chapel was added at the far end. The Bishop conducted family prayers there every evening, and an occasional baptism and even confirmation. After his death in 1935 the house was inherited by Miss Charlotte Gailor, his daughter and the chapel was deconsecrated. Its altar went to a small church in a neighboring town and Bishop Quintard's stained-glass window is now in the University Chaplain's office, in the cloister of All Saints' Chapel. Two small stained-glass window and a Madonna remained as testimony to the room's original function. Charlotte Gailor lived there till her death in April of 1972. The Gailor House, inherited by Dr. Robert Daniel, her nephew, and then by his children, was sold to the University in the 1980s. It has since been torn down for Chen Hall (1991), the Vice Chancellor’s current residence. Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Historic Sewanee Building Severely Damaged in Fire -- Sky Arnold Description An account of the resource Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5am and News at 9pm. On a campus known for its historic buildings Rebel's Rest has always stood out at Sewanee the University of the South. The log cabin style residence was built in 1866 for one of the University's founders, George Fairbanks. Wednesday night the building sustained heavy damage in a fire that appears to have started on the upper level. "When I came here it was engulfed in flames and it was a shock to see," said Sewanee graduate Jaina Patel. Rebel's Rest is the only structure remaining on campus from the University's re-founding after the Civil War. Sewanee Professor Waring McCrady says the building is important for more than its history though. Many students and alumni have known the place in modern times as a location for receptions and the University's Guest House. "Really does symbolize historic continuity and devotion to this place," said McCrady. That's why the fire is hitting so many people personally at Sewanee. Students and alumni like Patel stopped to take pictures Thursday afternoon. Even people who aren't affiliated with Sewanee like Bob Burns stopped to look at the damage. "This building in particular has so much meaning to so many people," said Burns. As chance would have it though the fire does have a silver lining. Three of the most priceless art pieces, including a portrait of the original resident George Fairbanks were moved recently for renovations. It remains to be seen if those paintings might someday return home but McCrady is among those who believe it's possible. He believes there's enough left on the bottom level of the residence to rebuild. "There's enough here to work with even if they have to pull it down to the ground and build it back up. They got the pieces for the facade," said McCrady.
